    H-France Review Volume 1 (2001) Page 101 H-France Review Vol. 1 (August 2001), No. 21 Dominique Kalifa, Naissance de la police privée: Détectives et agences de recherches en France, 1832-1942. Civilisations et Mentalités. Paris: Plon, 2000. 328 pp. Illustrations, documents, notes, bibliography, and index. 139FF (pb). ISBN 2-259-18291-7. Review by Robin Walz, University of Alaska Southeast. Dominique Kalifa’s Naissance de la police privée provides the first scholarly historical treatment of the French "private police"--agencies that conducted, as private commercial transactions, extra-legal investigations into suspected fraudulent activities and clandestine surveillance of individuals. It fills a curious yet important lacuna in the history of private life: the development of private detective companies as agents of social normalization in modern France. In contrast to the volumes of historical monographs devoted to French police and criminal justice systems, the novelty of the book lies in its focus upon private detectives. At first blush the subject appears to occupy a peripheral, if not esoteric, position in French society and culture. Yet Kalifa has succeeded in producing a stimulating and successful microhistory. Ultimately, the marginal story of France’s private detectives charts the historical shift "from anxiety to normalization" in the development of the French liberal state and bourgeois society. In the introduction, Kalifa asserts that the history of private detective agencies is woven into the fabric of French history in two

  • REVISITING the DETECTIVE FIGURE in LATE VICTORIAN and EDWARDIAN FICTION: a VIEW from the PERSPECTIVE of POLICE HISTORY Haia Shpayer-Makov1
    Law, Crime and History (2011) 2 REVISITING THE DETECTIVE FIGURE IN LATE VICTORIAN AND EDWARDIAN FICTION: A VIEW FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF POLICE HISTORY Haia Shpayer-Makov1 Abstract The mechanics of detection and figures with an investigatory function appeared in fictional texts in Britain before the mid-nineteenth century,2 but it was approximately from this period onwards that the detective in the modern sense gradually became a recognised figure and the genre was acknowledged as a literary form. By the end of the century, just a few years after the creation of Sherlock Holmes and the establishment of his subsequent enormous popularity, the repertoire of detective characters in fiction was of an unprecedented diversity, feeding the public’s seemingly insatiable appetite for this fascinating figure. Despite such diversity, researchers have observed common themes related to the detective figure in British fiction. The recurrent nature of these themes has lent itself to varied ideological and contextual readings by scholars, mostly from a literary perspective. This article, by contrast, re-examines these and other themes and tropes in the context of police history. Keywords: police detectives, private detectives, detective fiction, crime fiction Introduction - A Curious Fictional Convention A close look at the corpus of novels and stories containing the figure of a detective in the late nineteenth and early years of the twentieth century shows that the term 'detective' applied to different kinds of crime fighters. In addition to persons
